Does anybody know what alternator from Summit I can use? Making some
adapters to make it fit is no problem.

-----------------------------------
The OEM unit was either a 47-amp or a 63-amp MOtorcraft. Both are too small 
to power all the electrics modern Pantera owners seem to find necessary. 
Various years of Ford Motorcraft alternators are externally identical &
mount & wire 
as-stock; some are 100-  or 125-amp police assemblies, some have internal 
regulators, all available thru the vendors.  With some fooling around, a
1-wire 
GM Delco alternator can be adapted to a Pantera bracket. This last works
best 
if three wires are used so the charge light works & it charges better at low

revs, and this unit has an internal regulator. The vendors also have these
in 
stock. Good luck- J DeRyke
